CATEGORIES

There are four project categories. Students can compete for prizes in the following areas & levels:

Categories:

• Mini Documentary (non-fiction) - usually includes interviews with people. Less than 10 minutes.

• Short Film (fiction) - not to exceed 10 minutes.

• School Social Media Promo - a school related social media promotional video. Shot vertically (see rules). This new category should promote an aspect of your school, such as a: class, club, event, team or your school culture. Videos may be produced entirely on a mobile device or utilizing traditional video cameras and editing software. Ideally, the videos will have an engaging, polished and edited style. They may include graphics and effects. (Students MUST submit a file. Links to posted videos will not be accepted.) Not to exceed 1 minute. 

Levels:

Our levels have changed and no longer relate to intermediate or high school. Rather, they take into account the number of years of instruction the student has in video production techniques.

• Beginner (less than 1 year of video instruction)

• Mid ( 1-2 years of video instruction, which could include intermediate school.)

• Advanced (more than 2 years of video instruction, which could include intermediate school.)

"Youth Xchange" & "Hiki No" videos are welcome!
